E&I Framework Overview<\/span><\/h2>\n

The following diagram represents the Evaluation and Impact Framework for T&L in visual form. It sets out each of the components which make up the Evaluation and Impact Framework. The Framework has been built around the idea that it should be, flexible, accessible and easy to with engage with. Therefore a layered approach has been adopted whereby detail progresses as users move through the Framework. At the top levels content is accessible to all colleagues whether new or experienced to evaluation.<\/p>\n

The Framework begins with the \u2018Evaluation for Impact Cycle\u2019. This resource serves as a conversation starter about evaluation practice, and helps users understand the essential stages of evaluation. It also reinforces the idea that evaluation should be designed into activities\/initiatives from the outset.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Why Evaluate\u2019 and \u2018Principles of Evaluation\u2019 remind users how evaluation helps enhance practice and help users to consider the important principles which underpin how they should evaluate.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Impact by Design Steps\u2019 is a practical resource which helps users answer key questions before beginning an initiative or activity so that evaluation is embedded as part of its design. It also helps users reflect after they have completed an initiative and consider ways to disseminate the findings. It is supported by the getting started with the steps template which gives further prompts to consider and space for you to write down your thoughts\/plans.<\/p>\n

Within the Resource Bank, there is a suite of resources aimed to help both new and experienced colleagues design evaluation successfully or enhance their evaluation practice. This includes guidance forming objectives, information on evaluation methods and guides for where to find data amongst a number of other resources.<\/p>\n

The Framework has been developed in conjunction with Student Services to ensure it\u2019s components are suitable beyond teaching and learning areas.<\/p>\n

Principles of Evaluation<\/span><\/h2>\n

When thinking of evaluation or before beginning an evaluative exercise it is useful to have the following principles, which have been adapted from AdvanceHE<\/span><\/a>, in mind.<\/p>\n
